Joe's Steak Shop

Joe's Steak Shop, located at 274 South Main St, celebrating 84 years in business, was established in 1938 by Joseph Attinello, one of the oldest family-run businesses on Phillipsburg's South Main Street. It's one of town's greatest traditions, now run by Joe Attinello and his daughter Jody representing three generations of continuous operation serving the community. In 1958 Joe bought a tiny shack from a friend at a driving range in Straw Church Circle. 

Another friend who owned a gas station on South Main Street and also owned a small construction company had helped Joe move the shack overnight to 289 South Main Street. This was the home of Joe’s in-laws. 

In 1965 Joe had the opportunity to move directly across the street and buy the property of 274 South Main Street, known as the City Service Gas Station, where they remain to this day, hosting Car Shows and bands on Tuesdays May through October, serving the traditional cheesesteak and famous sauce.
